Lawrence "Larry" J. Fahl, age 80, of Mantua, passed away at his home on January 28, 2026. A beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend, Larry was a humble man with a heart of gold who always put others first, no matte Read Obituary
One of my fondest memories of Larry was talking on the phone for hours discussing recovery. The AA BIG BOOK, Step work and higher power questions.
Also sharing memories of my mother. I would call when I missed her or he would call me when he was missing her and we both leaned on each other through those hard times. I am going to miss those phone calls every day!
I love you Larry! Thank you for always having faith in me!

Larry was the best stepfather a girl could ever ask for! I will treasure and hold in my heart forever all of the long talks we had on the phone, where we shared all of our beliefs on recovery, whether that be the Big Book, step work, or our Higher Powers. We may have butted heads a lot, but in the end, I know he was very proud of me. He was a huge influence on my recovery, and so many others in recovery as well!
I am so grateful that I was able to share with him the deepest sense of who I am. I felt so honored when he invited me to go to an AA anniversary with him, unfortunately God called him home just 3 days before that event. Although it breaks my heart that we were never able to go, my heart will always treasure all of our memories together. Now that he is dancing in heaven with my mother, I know that he is finally at peace. I am also at peace knowing that both of them are my angels, watching over me. They are my strength, my guidance, and my courage more than ever, as I move forward in my recovery. I am finally doing the deal, Larry. After all these years. I miss you every day.
I love you. - Brat

Will be missed my old friend, surely, Linda was waiting for you.🙂↕️♥️
When he brought ham salad for after meeting snack (there was a lot left over)! or when he would read from the cheat sheet as secretary and would inevitably tell people we meet every week at 7 a.m. (it was pm)...

Larry and I met in second grade and became lifelong friends. Larry was a kind caring person, always willing to lend a helping hand to a classmate in need. While building my first home, his electrical expertise was especially invaluable. I will miss his friendship deeply. RIP old friend.
